Overview of DbD Twitch Stream #17 "Just the two of us: Part II"

[Watch the recorded stream here]

Dave and Mathew are here after their party at Pax WEST! (Ash is absent today)

Highlights:

At any point you play Dead by Daylight, there’s an average of 10 ~ 15 thousand others playing with you.

From Pax to Comicon - They’ll also be at New York City Comicon

Trapper Cards - The DbD crew are all carrying a very rare limited edition Chuckles card-- only 100 were given out in Pax (approximately 25 were given to the crew). Don’t jump them for the cards ;)

Pax-skins outside of Pax - It sounds that the Pax skins will be exclusive to Pax’s only, but there may be a different variant of them obtainable outside of Pax.

Hunt Mathew at Twitchcon - Mathew will be going to Twitchcon alone and he might be able to show new things he wouldn’t be able to otherwise if DbD fans can spot him!

DbD Merch - Currently, the official DbD crew isn’t selling any merchandise, but they are working on a partnership with other manufacturers to create official merchandise. Mathew wants his Dead by Daylight shower curtains.

Job at Dead by Daylight - They DO have openings for talented and enthusiastic people! You can contact them through the [Behavior website.]

Crew Morale - Negativity is always present in a community, but it’s the abundance of positivity, their cheering fans that makes everything worth it to the team.

See the rest of the overview under the cut!

Gameplay:

Matchmaking - The “Big Thing” that they’re working on at the moment is lobby issues. Along with general bug issues, they have a high priority of the lobby system. It’s a risky thing to tamper with, because if they break matchmaking or the lobby system, nobody can play.

More Costumes Upcomming? - Yes :)

More Objectives? - Adding new objectives is on their design team’s list-- it’s not being worked on at the moment, but it’s there.

Prestiged Outfits on Other Outfits - They’re not interested in applying the prestige looks on other outfits (such as Pizzaa Dwight). They might add bloodied versions, but the prestige outfits will stay exclusive

Meta Changing Perks - They want more then one meta of doing things, but they do recognize perks like Iron Grasp or Sabotage shorten the amount of viable ways to do things and they will address it. Nothing is confirmed, but sabotage and iron grasp will be changed.

Re-work Achievements? - They can’t change the achievements, they’re part of the legacy now

Killer Patroling - Just be careful around hooks.

Removing perks from scoreboard before the game ends? - It’s a cheat where someone has to die, but it shouldn’t be there. The developers want to remove it (dead survivors being able to see everyone’s perks after dying and relaying the information to the players still in-game)

Bots and macros - Bots are difficult to catch. The team is communicating with Anti-Cheat as to how to deal with them (and so far, nothing). They’re consitering making macros a bannable offense. They’re not doing anything about it currently, but it may become a rule later on.

Make Rank 1 Harder to Achieve? - Probably no. They do want some type of leader board so that players can still be in competition with eachother, however.

Trapper Trap Pickup/Put down Is Slow - It’s intentional to be slow in placing new traps. They want a penalty and they don’t believe it would improve gameplay for the trapper.

Skillchecks for wiggle? - Nah, probrobly not. There may be other methods, but this isn’t one of them.

Tinkerer (perk) -  They want to make more interesting. Perhaps it will be changed in the next loadout patch.

Nerf Nurse’s Calling - *raspberry noises*

DbD Development Plans:

Anything Planned for Halloween? - Yes, they want to do something!

Servers in the future? - It’s difficult to say. Their current settings with matchmaking and lobbies are “muddy”. In short, if they did start to use servers, it would be heavily optimized for the servers.

DbD Beta Server - They might consider launching a beta version of the game and let players in a queue play it before the features are launched in the live game.

Team Allocation - A part of the team is working on “new things”, but a majority of the crew is dealing with bugs. New items, new addons for all items (including Killer addons), and new offerings.

Dismemberment, Beheading Memento Moris? - The team were quite 50/50 on the idea. They decided not to run with multiple types of kills after reviewing horror movies, they decided to go with subtle, unsettling deaths. Though some movies depict graphic scenes, they don’t want blatant violence disturb the intensity of the game (that the excitement should be high in actual gameplay instead of the moris).

What Made the Team Use the Entity? - One of the big push/motivations for the Entity is how the Killer is rewarded. The hooks were originally meant to bleed out hooks, but with the idea of the Entity, more opportunities of what could be done. Not much can be said without Ash being present (they wanted Ash to explain the Entity more).

How they thought up the original Matchmaking - Rank = skill while survivor/killer levels = grind time. They do understand that the levels of the character does play a role with how powerful the player is.

New survivors, new killers, new maps - ...Are things that are definitely happening. They also want to keep constant contact with the community, be it though Twitch, Steam, Reddit, or in their booths at Pax/Comicon/Etc 

Snowy Maps, Candyland Map, Desert Maps, Rain - They really do want this kind of map variation, but currently, they don’t have the resources or capability (by the engine as of now) to do so.

Etc

Inspired by The Fans For Items/Killers/Survivors? - Yes! They are always inspired by the fans. They have a few ideas in mind already, but the future is bright in possibilities and there are many people with very good ideas among the community. (Clown?)

- Mathew’s Birthday is on November 1st, he might cosplay as Dwight.

- Dave and Mathew are french Canadians (Ash is not)

- There’s a lot of sugar in Mathew’s coffee.
